Also own bags from both companies. And do remember it was covered extensively on this list a few years ago. (About the time both Bill and myself each found the box of bags in the store at Duluth Pack.)
Do want to mention that the current Duluth Pack bags appear to be made from their regular cloth. Not waxed canvas. More like the Carradice canvas. Also, like others, was a bit surprised to see the Hobo bag used as a saddlebag. Can see how it might work.
